Your House and Yard

After the retreat from the town, Herbert sends you to an abandoned Inquisitor base west of the Crossroads. Its old house becomes your home. The yard in front of it is where you build most of your workstations, and the garden next to it is for crops. Your graveyard, morgue and church are all a short walk away.

The house

Your first sleep in the bed unlocks the technology tree and sets you up with your first free technology. From then on the bed is also how you save: sleeping at home is the only regular way to do it. Larry sits on the box next to the bed.

The kitchen is broken. Both pieces are repaired where they stand, and both need Building mastery 3:

Repair	Materials	What it gives you
Broken Oven	2 Pieces of stone	A working Kitchen Oven, plus the First dishes technology for free: baked apples, baked mushrooms and Berry Pie
Broken Kitchen Table	2 Wooden Planks	A working Kitchen Table: dough, Vegetable Salad and River fish fillet

The chests in the house hold 5 berries and 8 loaves of bread.

The yard

The yard’s build desk is where most workstations go: the Sawhorse, Chopping Spot, Woodworking Workbench I, Stonemason’s Workbench, Wooden Anvil, Furnace I, Kiln, Potter’s Wheel, Tool Rack and more. At the start there are none. Each one is unlocked by a technology.

The chest in the yard starts with 2 Boards, a Beer and 100 Water. The row of stockpiles along the yard (wood, stone, clay, sand, ore, coal and marble) belongs to the conveyor system, which is not in the demo.

The teleport stone by the house is activated for free by the story, so it is always there to bring you home. See Teleport milestones.

The garden

The garden has a well for water and room for Garden Beds, which come from the Gardening technology. The Orchardry technology adds an Orchard and Apple Trees, but in the demo nothing can grow in the Orchard (see Notes).
